Yes, it gets so windy here I honestly thought she would blow away if it wasn't for her harness and leash...it can be seriously nasty here.
I think I will try to do it and hopefully on those days that she doesn't want anything to do with outside she will come in and use it because there were times that I knew she had to go but she wouldn't go out because of the bitter cold-not to mention the sometimes 4 feet of snow that there is out there (we shovel out a spot but sometimes we don't get a chance before she has to go). I have her all bundled up but last winter was one of the worst winters.
I am going to definitely try it for her sake!!

Jackson likes the cold and the snow however a few of our storms were like impossible to even walk out the door. And I would BEG him to go in the garage or on the porch -- he rarely would do it. The porch he would because it had about a foot of snow inside of it (even though it was screened in, lol) so that was nice. But I was never able to get him to go on the pad when I briefly tried as a pup. But I'm happy with him being outdoor trained so I just deal with the winter. |
